Magnetic field-assisted batch polishing method for the mass production of precision optical glass components by Yee Man Loh, Chunjin Wang, Rui Gao, Lai Ting Ho, Chi Fai Cheung

“…To meet the high surface-quality requirements, a polishing process is usually adopted to finish the optical glass surface to ensure an ultra-smooth surface and eliminate sub-surface damage. However, current ultra-precision polishing processes normally polish workpieces individually, leading to a low production efficiency and high polishing costs. …”
